From earthy, deep witch-like colours such as olive green, mustard yellow and black in various finishes (glittery and iridescent) that Elphaba would be proud to wear, to the pinks, purples and golds sorted by Glinda, your options are ‘unlimited’ – especially when you can mix and match.
With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to grab this set to complete your witchy look – whether you’re going for a yellow and green combo or want to look pretty in pink. The limited edition nail set, arriving in a green and gold themed box reminiscent of Oz and featuring stills from the new film and its main characters, is the perfect present for those who are passionate about Wicked.
The OPI nail polish promises up to seven days of wear with its three-step system and comes in a bottle embellished with the Wicked logo, offering either a glossy or pearlescent finish depending on the formula, reports the Mirror.
Among the stunning shades available, Ozitively Elphaba stands out as an olive colour with golden swirls, a shade that seems tailor-made for Elphaba herself. This smudge-resistant and quick-drying polish, complete with a wide brush for flawless application, will have your nails dazzling swiftly.
Opi took to Instagram to announce their new Wicked-inspired collection, which has been endorsed by Cynthia Erivo, posting: “SoOo mani oz-mazing looks to choose from in our new #OPIxWicked collection! Witch one are you most excited for? ” and “Unleash the magic this holiday season with #OPIxWicked, launching October 1st. @wickedmovie only in theaters November 22.”
Fans of both the brand and the musical showed their enthusiasm in the comments section, with one fan exclaiming: “OMG! So fun.” Another commented: “Amazing collection,” and yet another stated: “I need it all.”
Fortunately, they can enjoy it all with the brand’s Advent Calendar, available here. As the set has just been launched, there are no negative reviews yet – and given the stunning colours, we don’t foresee many coming in.
OPI isn’t the only nail polish brand to jump on the beauty advent calendar trend, with Mylee’s Selection Box Advent Calendar also available at Boots for £55. If you’re more into makeup and skincare, there’s a wealth of options this season from LookFantastic, Sephora, Boots and Glossybox, among others, who have revealed their impressive beauty calendar collections.
